However, careful,...... John Atkinson, the magazine's technical guru was disappointed by their " measured performance", and Micallef's... | |
| Best sounding turntable and cartridge for $1100 To mesch: I'll provide an overview evaluation when I get TT spinning for a few weeks Thanks, SJjohnnyb53, I will check out the Shelter 201. Thanks, SJ | |
| Best sounding turntable and cartridge for $1100 Case Closed, I bought the U-Turn TT with the acrylic platter and the Ortofon 2M cartridge, which be replaced fairly soon with the Denon DL-110 MC Thanks to all who provided advice and recommendations SJ | |
| Best sounding turntable and cartridge for $1100 To fjn04, Well at least I can be accused of picking on audio reviews. No doubt Reichert knows his stuff, but he presents it like a show-off. He needs to put away his lavender Lava Lamp. BTW, thanks for the endorsement of the "U Turn" turntable... | |
| Best sounding turntable and cartridge for $1100 To Johnnyb53, I am sure every point you make is true. However, I am not going to play along with the band. Why not the Pioneer PLX 1000? which retails for $679.00. It looks solid and well made, and got the blessings of that blowhard Herb Reich... | |
| Best sounding turntable and cartridge for $1100 Thanks to all who have responded and provided many good TT options.However, I ran across and ad for "U-Turn Audio turntables" on a Stereophile newsletter. I have never heard of this company, but their website is impressive and offers a slide show... | |
| Best sounding turntable and cartridge for $1100 I was surprised to see an ad for Audioengine line of "turntable". They look nice, and the pricing is reasonable, but the models "Orbit Plus" and "Orbit Special" are pre-packed with "the same old same old": Ortofon OM5e on the Plus and the univers... | |
| Need recomendation for an IC to fill out and enrich the sound between amp and pre-amp. To jafant, I did not dismiss your recommendation of the Audience cabling. I have been generously bombarded by cable options (some) which appear less expensive However, scroll back to Almarg's comments about the Jensen Transformer as possibly the... | |
| Need recomendation for an IC to fill out and enrich the sound between amp and pre-amp. To mtot, Thank you for your comment about the Cardas Adapters. Interestingly Victor Khomenko at BAT informed me about the Cardas Adaptors, but more or less to stick with what I have, that is the Signal Cable mixed configurationParts Connexion se... | |
| Need recomendation for an IC to fill out and enrich the sound between amp and pre-amp. Almarg. Thank you again for the information about the Jensen TransformerI have 3 ways to go; 1) BAT no lower has adapters, and suggested Cardas adapters. Victor K. at BAT did say I was better off with "what I have now" that is, the Signal Cable ... | |
| Need recomendation for an IC to fill out and enrich the sound between amp and pre-amp. Thanks to all who have responded so far. I may have ask this same question a few months agoTo Almarg, I think I need to put my glasses on, because as you noted before, the BAT VK-200 only has XLR inputs. They DO have RCA outputs but that is not g... | |
| What speaker cables can complete with Audience 24e or 24e SE for less $$ To Lowrider, Thanks for the comment. I spoke to the G-man today, and his trade up policy is generous; so I am probably going to go for the Empress speaker cable and trade in my Huffman EX speaker cable. | |
| What speaker cables can complete with Audience 24e or 24e SE for less $$ To lowrider57, I sent Grover Huffman an e-mail about the Empress cable and also if he could re-terminate his EX speaker cable I bought about a year ago on AG before buying the Harmonic Technology cable. I am not sure how old the EX cable I... | |
| What speaker cables can complete with Audience 24e or 24e SE for less $$ A member on this thread recommended Grover Huffman new "Empress, The Ultimate" speaker cable. Is anyone currently using this new model??. If so , what is your thought on the sound quality and overall musicality??. I still own an 8 ft pair of Huf... | |
| Best sounding turntable and cartridge for $1100 Has any one owned a Marantz 15S1 turntable with the Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood cartridge. The cartridge is now $950 at retail. Seems like a lot of cartridge for this level of table which was made by Clearaudio for Marantz The "last" retail of the... |
